Why didn't Beth put the word out? Have you talked to her lately? Hope all is well with her.

Rich

 

BID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Just talked to her this evening. They cleaned up the green car real nice and hope to find a great home for it. They just have too many cars to drive them all...

 

ohhh... another 928

 

Nicole...and BETH!!! How come you didn't post a big write up for the Rennlist crowd. We could and still can...get the word out.

 

seems like a high starting bid for a car with 155k miles. I think they'd get a better feel for the ebay market with a nominal starting price. The could always make the reserve 5k, but this way they'd know what they could get, not just what they couldn't get

 

Beth, long time no see. How's it going? Still have the S4?

Rich

 

Hi Rich-
Heck ya - still have the S4. Everything is great. We'll be back in the circuit again soon.

 

I predict someone will snipe this at the last second and get a heck of a deal on a manual 928.

 

x2 that

 

And get a heck of a nice manual 928 at that!

 

I'm gonna PM Thad!!

Heh heh.

 

Well, I was wrong - it did not sell. Someone missed an interesting, unique manual "S".

I wonder, if it would be better to end the biddiing on a Friday or Sunday night. Anybody have any such knowledge or experience?

Note that it has a rebuilt engine.

Great idea - but IIRC he said he only wanted to spend a thousand bucks or so...

 

Many schools of thought on the "when to end an ebay vehicle auction" topic but most would argue that ending it at 11:49 pm eastern time on a weeknight is not going to get it done.

I always have mine end at noon or 1 pm pacific time, although really the vast majority of the bikes I sell on eBay do so with the "buy it now" feature.

The bottom line is if the vehicle is accurately described and fairly priced it will sell. My guess is this seller is talking to some of the auction watchers who did not bid but were interested. One of them will probably bust a move.

At 5g's how can you not pull the trigger? I've spent more than that on just tune-up and maintenence parts the last couple months resurrecting my '91.
